Which EU Country easiest to immigrate with non-EEA spouse?

Which EU country is the easiest to immigrate to/settle in for a Hungarian national with a non-EEA spouse?

Anyone with personal experience of the hassles (or preferably the least amount of hassle) to get a job, rent apartment and get residence permit/citizenship in a particular country for a non EEA spouse?

Countries of interest are: Germany (Berlin), Italy (in the north or Rome) Austria, Switzerland (though I know that's a long shot) or any country where it is easy to get residency for EU citizen with non-EU spouse.

Thanks

Bochanot! (only Hungarian word I know and I forgot what it means!)

I think it's fairly easy anywhere bearing in mind the rules for A8 citizens if they still apply. I thinking WRS for UK or whatever else other nations have in place.

Ireland probably hard, they seem to have their own very Catholic rules, Germany might be easy esp if u have German descent, they even had Hungarian trains in Berliner Hauptbahnhof when I was there! Not much work in Berlin tho, for me anyway as an IT bloke, seems Berlin isn't the 'real' capital despite the millions spent on it, all the jobs are in Dusseldorf/Frankfurt and Munchen for IT types.

Since Hungary is now a EU country, any other EU country should be fairly easy to immigrate to.

I am German, my wife is Argentinian. Personal experience: she joined me in Germany in 2006, residence permit was granted quickly, but she never found a job as she lacked both good German and qualifications. In 2007 we moved to Ireland, where it took 5 months to get the residence permit but after that she found a job immediately.

They are quite cocky if the spouse did not reside in another EU country before coming to Ireland. See the Ireland forum on this website for more info.
